columns of an interview with Mr.. Glad
stone on British politics, as had been
stated in the morning papers.
''And what if | did?' queried the
doctor.
swell, of course you had perfect
right to do so, byt in view Of your we'll
known denunciations OF certain Amerl-
can newspapers, the public would natur-
ally be interested in knowing whether
the announcement in the New York
Herald is true or not"

am not going to read it or say one s0li-
tary word about the matter, except that

DR.. Parker said he had been so busy

travelling and lecturing that he had
very little time for observation, and
could not, therefore, give a resume of
his impressions of the country. He
would say, however, that there were
possibilities here that could not be found
in any other land. Rev. Frank GunSau-
lus, pastor of Plymouth church of this
city. said to-day that DIR. Parker will
not preach in Plymouth church in
Brooklyn unless some explanation of
the action of the plymouth church
authorities in breaking the contract
with him is given and the matter
righted. AT this afternoon Dr.. Parker
left this city for New York. He will
sail for England week from next
Saturday.

Chicago, Nov. 25, 1ss7.-To the Editor
of the Herald: Almost Immediately on
my return to England | shall seek an
interview with Mr. Gladstone to report
to him the state of American opinion
with regard to himself and his Irish
home rule policy as it has come, in many
cities, under my personal notice. L in
tend to invite Mr.. Gladstone to favor
me with comments upon various mat
tiers relating to English politics and to
American institutions, and TO embOdy
the results of the intervieWin deScrip
tive article, occupying about six col

Mr.. Gladstone has never consented to
be professionally interviewed, but |

doing my utmost to render it piquant,
graphic, and in proper degree dra-
matte. JOSEPH PARKER.
